What’s been bothering you about nutrition?

Do you have any questions you've been thinking of asking comrades?

Anything that has worked for you lately that you want to share?

Any healthy recipes that you've tried out lately?

Have you decided you're going to cut out the middle-man and start staring into the sun for energy?

    Is there any nutrition science that isn't just an industry trying to make their product more desirable? I swear every piece of nutrition and diet science that I come across that I actually look into was propogated by some food lobby.

      Any time someone is trying to sell you something based of "a study" it's usually one funded by an industry.

      There has, however, been some research into nutrition that has been publically funded. It's just fewer and farther between than ones funded by industry.

      That's mostly true (in my experience at least) of most research in the US.

      Yes, quite a bit actually. But you will have to dig into the boring stuff, and even then have to keep an eye open for industry influence
